2nd biggest band ever?

[ledzep]

the beatles were obviously the biggest group of all time
i want to find out who was the second biggest
im thinking it is between the stones and led zeppelin
can anyone lend me some insight?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

I would say the Stones, especially based on the fact that they are still going.

How do you define biggest, though? Most albums sold? Selling out stadiums? Most influential?

Too hard to judge, IMO.

Not that I'm a fan but Kiss would have to be in the running wouldn't they?

 

[nöyd]

KISS are the second biggest record sellers behind the Beatles, so they have a legitimate claim :?:

 

[CC_Eagle]

Stones.

Influence, records released,album sales and just the fact that they are still going when most would be sipping tea and wearing slippers non stop.

 

[knights04]

Genesis

 

[Matt23]

U2

 

[Nuke]

Queen (should be number 1 though).

 

[madunit]

Queen definitely.

 

[Jono Russell]

acdc

 

[Ari Gold]

Metallica

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

zeppelin

 

[bomberman]

Considering that the Bealtes themselves were influenced by the Beach Boys and have admitted Brian Wilson was ahead of everyone, then the Beatles are actually 2nd behind Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Brotherhood of Man.

Considering that the Bealtes themselves were influenced by the Beach Boys and have admitted Brian Wilson was ahead of everyone, then the Beatles are actually 2nd behind Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

Considering that the Beatles were a helluva lot more popular than the Beach Boys, they are obviously first.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Beach Boys in front of the Beatles?

That's like putting Buck's Fizz in front of Queen.

 

[Ari Gold]

it really depends on how you would judge how big a band is:

so if your looking at:

talent - its zeppelin

image - its kiss

influence - its metallica

album sales - its the rolling stones

 

[fat_mike]

"influence - its metallica"

no way, without bands like black sabbath, led zep and deep purple then you wouldnt have metallica.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Aqua

Considering that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard...
